Rest API Test For Completion

[jhagist]

I have a pattern where I run a REST POST api call and then need to run a REST GET to see if the request has completed. I need to somehow loop back to run the REST GET again if it isn’t done.

Recommendations on how to handle this pattern?

hi i’m wondering why your solution isnt working for me. same use case. but i am seeing it not waiting until there is a success as in this example:

Then the next step still shows the job status = “queued”

So aside from the REST GET snap that happens to have it’s own built-in next/loop within the snap itself, is there a recommended pattern for achieving a “while” type of loop within a pipeline? That’s the piece I was excited about from some of the examples when this thread started off, and sounded like more than one person somehow had it working. Interested in people’s tricks.

Not sure that this is what you are looking for but it looks promising.

Retry Snap

Wondering if anyone has used this? What was your use case?
